Introduction

The 2007/08 Active NZ Survey

The Active NZ Survey is a national-level survey run by Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) to monitor physical activity, in particular, sport and recreation participation among New Zealand adults.

The sampling methodology was designed to enable SPARC to provide high-level information about sport, recreation and physical activity levels at a regional level, based on the geographical areas serviced by New Zealand’s 17 regional sports trusts (RSTs). At least 200 participants were interviewed in each region, with the exception of Gisborne, where the interview target was 100 (fewer participants were targeted because of the geographical spread of the Gisborne population).
